@ -5,43 +5,50 @@ timew-annotate - add an annotation to intervals
== SYNOPSIS
[verse]
*timew annotate* [_<id>_**...**] _<annotation>_**...**
*timew annotate* [_<id>_**...**] _<annotation>_
== DESCRIPTION
The 'annotate' command is used to add an annotation to an interval.
Using the 'summary' command, and specifying the ':ids' hint shows interval IDs.
Using the right ID, you can identify an interval to annotate.
See the 'summary' command on how to display the _<id>_ and _<annotation>_ of an interval.
== EXAMPLES
For example, show the IDs:
*Annotate a single interval*::
+
Call the command with an _id_ and the _annotation_:
+
[source]
----
$ timew summary :week :ids
$ timew annotate @2 'Lorem ipsum'
Annotated @2 with "Lorem ipsum"
----
Then having selected e.g. '@2' as the interval you wish to annotate:
*Remove an annotation*::
+
Annotating an interval with an empty string removes the annotation:
+
[source]
----
$ timew annotate @2 'Lorem ipsum...'
Annotated @2 with "Lorem ipsum..."
$ timew annotate @1 ''
Removed annotation from @1
----
Note that you can annotate multiple intervals with the same annotation:
*Annotate multiple intervals*::
+
You can annotate multiple intervals with the same _annotation_ at once, by specifying their ids:
+
[source]
----
$ timew annotate @2 @10 @23 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...'
Annotated @1 with "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..."
Annotated @10 with "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..."
Annotated @23 with "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..."
$ timew annotate @2 @10 @23 'Lorem ipsum'
Annotated @1 with "Lorem ipsum"
Annotated @10 with "Lorem ipsum"
Annotated @23 with "Lorem ipsum"
----
If there is active time tracking, you can omit the ID when you want to add annotations to the current open interval:
*Annotate the current open interval*::
+
If there is active time tracking, you can omit the ID when you want to add an annotation to the current open interval:
+
[source]
----
$ timew start foo
@ -49,22 +56,25 @@ $ timew start foo
$ timew annotate bar
Annotated @1 with "bar"
----
This results in the current interval having annotations 'foo' and 'bar'.
+
This results in the current interval having tag 'foo' and annotation 'bar'.
== pass:[BUGS & LIMITATIONS]
The summary command truncates annotations longer than 15 characters.
To display longer annotations, one can use the export command, or a custom report.
To display longer annotations, one can use the 'export' command, or a custom report.
Currently, the annotation command picks the last token from the command line and uses it as annotation.
I.e. using no quotes in an annotation command like
[source]
----
$ timew annotate @1 lorem ipsum dolor
$ timew annotate @1 lorem ipsum
----
will result in interval @1 having only 'dolor' as its annotation.
will result in interval @1 having only 'ipsum' as its annotation.
Use quotes to avoid this.
